Saints Row 2 Information

To use these cheats for the XBOX 360 edition of Saints Row 2, you will need to pause the game and use the cell phone. You’ll select the “dial" feature and then enter the number, make sure that you put the pound symbol in front of all the numbers and then when done press “call". If you used it right, there will be a message and then you’ll go to “cheats" and select the option you wanted. Cheat codes will disable the achievements, so if you are looking to work on achievements you’ll have to do them all on your own without the cheat codes to help you. However if you are wanting to see what achievements there are for Saints Row 2, you’ll just have to look at Achievements for Saints Row 2 for XBOX 360.

On the other hand, there are plenty of other codes that aren't listed here in this article. What you'll see below is only the wacky effects, game state effects, and other world-wide codes. None of them are the weapon-specific codes or the vehicle-summoning codes. Those all come in a different set of articles altogether. Want to travel the city in style? Read our guide on vehicle codes. On the other hand, maybe you need a little more firepower to take out the gangs you hate? Go ahead and check out our weapons codes guide. Once you've done that, there's no reason you shouldn't be unstoppable.
